hi Steve
yes you are right, I used the red in Target 3000 and in Eagle for board and pads and then printed it in the highest quality on transparants (printfit and Dataline is the names of two types I had purchased in supermarkets and used ).
the printer is the IP 4850
I tried first with different colors, as black was not ok ,at least for the transparants I used .
blue yellow and green gave very good prints but the UV came throug and made a lot og small holes. but red did stop the UV very good.
I have made a small pcb test board with 5mil traces ..not any problems..maybe there was also a bit luck with it..
